This workshop is meant for Community
Theatre actors who’d like to refresh their
skills in the basics of acting. The
workshop centers primarily on character
building and script interpretation.
Participants will delve into character
research techniques, explore the physical
challenges of presenting character, work
with motivational factors in action, and
finally look at script through text and
subtext analysis. Participants will then
explore Scene Studies and the workshop
will culminate in performances of scenes
with group discussion and evaluation to
follow.
